Due to the leverage provided on trading accounts the client can hold cryptocurrency CFD positions larger than amount of traditional currency initially owned.

Similar to other CFDs and FX instruments, cryptocurrency CFD can be short or long so the client can benefit from price movement in both directions up and down.

Please be aware that opened CFD position is not owning of an underlying asset and price of cryptocurrency CFD varies significantly across different cryptocurrency exchanges. Although the price of the CFD usually reflects the price of the underlying asset, this is not necessary the case.

Features of crypto trading

Trade on both rising and falling markets

Same as Forex trading, CFD trading enables you to buy (go long) if you believe market prices will rise, or sell (go short) if you believe market prices will fall.

Efficient use of your capital with leverage

CFDs are traded on leverage, meaning you need only a small deposit to open your position rather than having to invest the full value of an asset.

Hedging possibilities

If you expect your existing cryptocurrency portfolio may lose some of its value in a short term, you can use CFDs to cover this loss by short selling.
